Add in the garlic, paprika, garam masala and salt and pepper and stir for 2 minutes.

Add the tomatoes and simmer for another 2 minutes then add coconut cream and blend either using a stick blender, or pour it all into a standing blender (Be careful as steam can make a lid pop off during blending). ​

Bring the sauce back to a medium-low simmer and add the diced chicken. Cook for about 12 minutes or until no pink is found in the chicken.

Serving suggestions are a sprinkle of freshly chopped coriander and served on a bed of steamed or boiled cauliflower rice.
